Scone Caravan Park

Discover the Charm of the Upper Hunter Valley

Welcome to Scone Caravan Park, your ideal home away from home in the heart of the Upper Hunter Valley. Located in the charming town of Scone, famously known as the “Horse Capital of Australia,” our park offers a comfortable and affordable base for travellers, families, and workers alike. Whether you are passing through on the New England Highway or planning an extended stay to explore the region’s rich heritage and natural beauty, we provide a relaxed atmosphere with all the essential conveniences.

Our park is designed to cater to a variety of accommodation needs. For those travelling with their own rig, we offer spacious powered and unpowered sites suitable for caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and tents. The sites are set on well-maintained grass grounds with easy access to amenities. If you prefer a cabin stay, we have a range of options including air-conditioned self-contained units and two-bedroom cabins. These cabins come equipped with en-suites, kitchenettes, and televisions, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of travel or sightseeing.

Scone Caravan Park prides itself on being a pet-friendly destination (subject to management approval), so your furry companions can join in on the adventure. Our facilities are kept clean and tidy, featuring a well-equipped laundry, a BBQ area for social cooking, and an amenities block with hot showers. The park’s location is one of its greatest assets; situated at the southern end of Kelly Street, it is just a short, level walk to the town centre. This means you are only minutes away from local pubs, cafes, supermarkets, and specialty shops, allowing you to leave the car behind and explore Scone on foot.

Use our park as a launchpad to discover the wider Upper Hunter region. Visit the impressive Hunter Warbirds Museum at the local airport, marvel at the natural wonder of Burning Mountain, or enjoy a day of fishing and water sports at the nearby Lake Glenbawn. With its blend of country hospitality, convenient location, and practical facilities, Scone Caravan Park invites you to relax and recharge in one of New South Wales’ most picturesque rural districts.
